This study aimed to determine the relationship between the beliefs toward mental illness and stigmatization of health sciences faculty students.
This descriptive study was carried out with the students of health sciences faculty in Istanbul. The sample population was composed of 792 students who agreed to participate in the study. Data were collected using the Information Form, Beliefs toward Mental Illness (BMI) scale, and Stigma scale through e-mail.
The sociodemographic data of the students showed that 82.8% were female, 98.7% were single, and 30.8% were third-grade students. Of the students, 4.7% were diagnosed with psychiatric disorders, and 27% of them were diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, and 73.1% had not received any education related to mental illness. The mean scores of all BMI scale subdimensions were statistically significant for students diagnosed with mental illness than those for the ones who were not diagnosed with mental illness. The average stigmatization score was statistically significantly higher for students diagnosed with mental illness than that for the ones who were not diagnosed with mental illness.
As the negative beliefs toward mental illness increase, the stigmatization rates also increase; furthermore, students who are not educated are more likely to stigmatize.
本研究旨在确定健康科学专业学生对精神疾病的信念与污名化之间的关系。
本描述性研究在伊斯坦布尔健康科学学院的学生中开展。样本群体由792名同意参与研究的学生组成。通过电子邮件使用信息表、精神疾病信念（BMI）量表和污名化量表收集数据。
学生的社会人口统计学数据显示，82.8%为女性，98.7%为单身，30.8%为三年级学生。学生中，4.7%被诊断患有精神疾病，其中27%被诊断患有广泛性焦虑症，73.1%未接受过任何与精神疾病相关的教育。对于被诊断患有精神疾病的学生，BMI量表所有子维度的平均得分在统计学上显著高于未被诊断患有精神疾病的学生。被诊断患有精神疾病的学生的平均污名化得分在统计学上显著高于未被诊断患有精神疾病的学生。
随着对精神疾病的负面信念增加，污名化率也会增加；此外，未接受教育的学生更有可能产生污名化。
